density, spine-and-leaf IP fabrics.
Supporting 400GbE, 200GbE,
100GbE, 50GbE, 40GbE, 25GbE,
and 10GbE connections and
offering an advanced L2, L3, and
MPLS feature set, the QFX5220
enables cloud service providers
and network operators to build
large, next-generation IP fabrics
that support network virtualization
and intelligent traffic forwarding
based on proven, Internet-scale
technology.
Product Description
The Juniper Networks® QFX5220 Switch is a next-generation, fixed-configuration
spine-and-leaf switch. It offers flexible, cost-effective, high-density 400GbE,
200GbE, 100GbE, 50GbE, 40GbE, 25GbE, and 10GbE interfaces for server and
intra-fabric connectivity, and delivers a versatile, future-proofed solution for today’s
data centers.
QFX5220 switches support advanced Layer 2, Layer 3, and MPLS features. For
large public cloud providers—early adopters of high-performance servers to meet
explosive workload growth—the QFX5220 supports very large, dense, and fast
400GbE IP fabrics based on proven Internet scale technology. For enterprise
customers seeking investment protection as they transition their server farms from
10GbE to 25GbE, the QFX5220 switch also provides a high radix-native 100GbE
lean-spine option at reduced power and a smaller footprint.
Two QFX5220 models are available, supporting different configurations and use cases.
Delivering 25.6 Tbps of bandwidth, both models are optimally designed for spine-and-
leaf deployments in enterprise, HPC, service provider, and cloud data centers.
QFX5220-32CD: The QFX5220-32CD offers 32 ports in a low-profile 1 U form
factor. High-speed ports support a wide variety of port configurations, including
400GbE, 200GbE, 100GbE, 25GbE, 40GbE, and 10GbE. The QFX5220-32CD is
equipped with two AC or DC power supplies, providing 1+1 redundancy when all
power supplies are present, and six hot-swappable fans offering ports-to-FRUs
(AFO) or FRUs-to-ports (AFI) airflow options, providing 5 +1 redundancy.
QFX5220-128C: The QFX5220-128C offers 128 ports in a 4 U form factor. The
high-speed ports support a wide variety of configurations, including 100GbE and
40GbE. The switch is equipped with four AC or DC power supplies, providing 2+2
redundancy when all power supplies are present, and six hot-swappable ports-to-
FRUs (AFO) airflow fans, providing (5x2+1) +1 redundancy.
Both QFX5220 switch models include an Intel XeonD-1500 processor to drive
the control plane, which runs the Juniper Networks Junos® OS Evolved operating
system software.

plug-and-play operations, including zero-touch provisioning
(ZTP), operations and event scripts, automatic rollback, and
Python scripting.
supports features such as BGP add-path, MPLS, L3 VPN,
RoCEv2, and Multicast capabilities.
• Junos Evolved software architecture: The QFX5220
supports a modular Junos Evolved software architecture
that allows the switch’s control and data plane processes
and functions to run in parallel, maximizing utilization
of the high-performance quad-core CPU, support for
seamless component upgrade without bringing the
switch down, and support for containerization, enabling
application deployment using LXC or Docker.
Deployment Options
The QFX5220-32CD can be deployed as a universal device
in cloud data centers to support 100GbE server access and
400GbE spine-and-leaf configurations, optimizing data center
operations by using a single device across multiple layers of the
network (see Figure 1).
The QFX5220-128C is a high-radix 100GbE lean-spine switch
optimized to aggregate 10GbE and 25GbE top-of-rack switches
in these environments. Many cloud, service provider, data
center, and enterprise networks are deploying 100GbE to
handle growing demand. Figure 2 and Figure 3 show multiple

QFX5220-128C and Contrail Networking

As shown in Figure 3, the QFX5220-128C can be managed with
Juniper Networks Contrail® Networking™, a fabric management
and SDN overlay solution that provides full life-cycle
management for both data center and data center interconnect
infrastructures. Contrail Networking automates data center
operations so users can focus on revenue-generating services
rather than operational networking procedures.
Contrail Networking works with any standard IP Clos architecture,
performing configuration operations across virtual networks and
physical devices by leveraging open protocols such as Network
Configuration Protocol/remote procedure call (NETCONF/RPC).
Using a centralized controller with a management interface,
Contrail Networking provides customizable configuration
templates that adapt to a vast array of architectures and
use cases to ease network and device operations. Contrail
Networking abstracts network connectivity using virtual overlays
connecting cloud-native workloads with traditional workloads
running on bare-metal servers attached to the switch.
Contrail Networking enables data center fabrics and data
center interconnects to be provisioned and automated using a
common, consistent data model for configuring devices.

Junos Telemetry Interface
The QFX5220 supports Junos Telemetry Interface (JTI), a
modern telemetry streaming tool that provides performance
monitoring in complex, dynamic data centers. Streaming data to
a performance management system lets network administrators
measure trends in link and node utilization and troubleshoot
issues such as network congestion in real time.
JTI provides:
• Application visibility and performance management by
provisioning sensors to collect and stream data and analyze
the application and workload flow path through the
network
• Capacity planning and optimization by proactively
detecting hotspots and monitoring latency and microbursts
• Troubleshooting and root cause analysis via high-frequency
monitoring and correlating overlay and underlay networks.
Monitoring and Analytics with Juniper Contrail
Insights
Juniper Networks Contrail® Insights, a network and device
monitoring platform, provides comprehensive visualization and
smart analytics for the QFX5220 switches. Powered by machine
learning and artificial intelligence, Contrail Insights automatically
learns network and device performance profiles, detects faults,
and facilitates preventative remediation in real time at scale.
Based on a distributed policy and analytics architecture, Contrail
Insights seamlessly collects telemetry data from the QFX5220
platforms via JTI and OpenConfig and analyzes it in real time,
generating events and alert notifications while providing the
operator with actionable insights.
Contrail Insights delivers the following features and benefits:
• Real-time metrics and alarms: Contrail Insights collects and
analyzes comprehensive metrics in real time for monitored
networks and devices, displaying them in the Contrail
QFX5220-128C
Insights dashboard as real-time charts and graphs. With
Contrail Insights, operators can also configure alarms for
individuals or groups of metrics that are triggered when
specific values or conditions are met, or when anomalies
occur, notifying the operator in real time. Contrail Insights
software also plots these alarms on both real-time and
historical charts, giving the operator a holistic view of
current status as well as prevailing trends.
• SLA monitor: The Contrail Insights dashboard includes
an SLA Monitor pane that provides operators with an
overview indicating the current state of the network and
related devices. The SLA status indicates whether the
network and the devices are currently operating outside
a user-defined performance threshold, while risk predicts
whether devices may become unhealthy in the future
based on historical trends.
• Notifications: Contrail Insights can be configured to notify
external systems when events and alarms are triggered. For
each event or alarm, Contrail Insights can post a structured
description of the event as a JavaScript Object Notation
(JSON) payload to an external HTTP endpoint. These
notifications can initiate an action or workflow, whether
corrective, preventive, or otherwise, to keep the network
and devices operating in an optimal state. For operator
convenience, Contrail Insights comes preconfigured with
PagerDuty, ServiceNow, and Slack, some of the industry’s
most popular incident management and collaboration
platforms.
• Reports: Contrail Insights reports allow users to analyze
how networks and devices are being consumed over time.
The dashboard displays reports in both graphical and
tabular formats. Users may also download the data as an
HTML formatted report, raw comma-separated value (CSV)
file, or JSON-formatted statistics for further analysis.
